The next step may be "Only solo hunting a loud".....

When my wife showed me, I said “Well, I guess I’m a poacher now.”

Your not a poacher if your excersizing your god given right to put food on your table.

There's no such thing as a god given right.

Good luck with that when arguing with the CO then the Judge.
A poacher is a poacher is a poacher.

I wonder what they mean by "fish and hunt locally"...

It’s gonna have me on edge for sure. I can’t think of a shittier thing to do then ban our activities that get away away from other people in a time like this.

If you obey the law, Government gives the right.
In the USA, many states have implemented the God given right to hunt into their states Constitution, about 25-30 states IIRC.

The purpose for that is to get the environmentalists out of their face, also, many believe when God told man to kill and eat, that is the right already given.
I guess its how you look at it, FN think they have a right given by the creator, do they have a god given right, or not?

Not sure if true but just read youth spring turkey season is closed in Washington due to virus

It's true. Along with six game management units that were scheduled to open on April 1 for spring bear hunting and all recreational fishing.

The joke circling around right now could very easily become our reality. Hopefully those going for their spring bear here can demonstrate proper distancing and set a good example. Especially when going to the grocery store, gas stations etc.
